Planning the Project - STEAM

Mathematics is applied to most of the activities and investigations contained within the Toolkit. Each experiment, test and survey requires the handling and interpretation of data. Pupils could be required to apply the rules and conventions associated with presenting data in graph and table form. Pupils may also be required to work with numerical values associated with the key nutrients in food and make calculations using percentages, averages and totals. Although most data can be presented using ICT tools, it is recommended that calculations are made mentally of using pencil and paper approaches.
